This photo doesn't begin to showcase how very pretty this pin is. And there is nothing skimpy about it. It is a large brooch, well-made, has a good heft and a nice quality. The crystals sparkle perfectly and the little articulated crystals at the bottom of each ribbon twinkle nicely when you move. I plan to wear mine to New York City's Metropolitan Opera House on a tuxedo jacket, but there is absolutely nothing that says you can't wear this on a jean jacket or a work blazer if you want to sparkle more on any given day. If you purchase this, I believe that you will be glad you did. I certainly am glad that I did.
